Mission Shaped Introduction

mission shaped introduction (msi) is a six session course that invites us to rediscover mission and re-imagine church in a changing world. It can be run locally, or with the help of the Parish Support team as an event for a Deanery or Mission Partnership.

There is no charge for the course, though donations are welcome to cover the costs of refreshments. An optional booklet is available for £4.

The most recent courses have been run at Woodlands in Doncaster, Catcliffe in Rotherham and Anston in the Laughton Deanery & by our Methodist colleagues in Handsworth.

​Sheffield. We are offering msi-in-a-day at St Chad's Church in Woodseats, Saturday 1 July, 9.30am-3.30pm. This condensed version of the course will suit those who cannot make a series of midweek evenings. Download flyers here for the Sheffield course: A4 format, A5 format.

Mark Wigglesworth and John Hibberd from the Diocesan Parish Support Team are offering this course, with assitance from others, to churches in the Diocese. The course materials are also available to borrow from the St Peter's College Resource Centre. It can also be downloaded as a stand alone course from the national Fresh Expressions website

The Diocese of Sheffield is called to grow a sustainable network of Christ-like, lively and diverse Christian communities in every place which are effective in making disciples and in seeking to transform our society and God’s world.
